[PATCH] RPC: skip over transport-specific heads automatically

Add a generic mechanism for skipping over transport-specific headers
 when constructing an RPC request.  This removes another "xprt->stream"
 dependency.

 Test-plan:
 Write-intensive workload on a single mount point (try both UDP and
 TCP).

/*
* From RFC 1831:
*
* "A record is composed of one or more record fragments. A record
* fragment is a four-byte header followed by 0 to (2**31) - 1 bytes of
* fragment data. The bytes encode an unsigned binary number; as with
* XDR integers, the byte order is from highest to lowest. The number
* encodes two values -- a boolean which indicates whether the fragment
* is the last fragment of the record (bit value 1 implies the fragment
* is the last fragment) and a 31-bit unsigned binary value which is the
* length in bytes of the fragment's data. The boolean value is the
* highest-order bit of the header; the length is the 31 low-order bits.
* (Note that this record specification is NOT in XDR standard form!)"
*
* The Linux RPC client always sends its requests in a single record
* fragment, limiting the maximum payload size for stream transports to
* 2GB.
